Rebuilding a motorbike at the moment and am looking to coat the frame, swingarm and a few other bits after stripping them down to bare steel. It's a budget build so not looking to send off for powder coating.

I've got a small compressor but it's not great so ideally I'm looking for a hardwearing black or silver paint I can spray from a can. Any recommendations?

You can get 2K aerosol paints, from a few different suppliers

Much more durable than any 1k product

You will of course require a mask and use in a ventilated area, shouldnt really be a pollution problem as overspray and bounce back will be minimal from an a aerosol can

Plenty choice of colour here https://www.riolettcustomaerosols.co.uk/2k-aerosol...

My local paint supplier will mix 2k and put it in an aerosol for you ready to use, as long as you're ready to apply the paint straight away.
